Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 700

The atmosphere at the party was lively. Glasses were clinking and people were mingling in the splendid hall.

When Ivanna and I entered, it was already pretty late, and many guests had arrived.

I recognized some faces at the gala, but I had to admit that I was not acquainted with most of the people here.

As we walked into the venue, I overheard people whispering, "What beautiful women."

"Who are those two? I don't think I've seen them before."

"They’re gorgeous. They might be from a prestigious family, and they might have just returned to the country recently."

I realized the whispers were talking about us. Of course they hadn't seen us before since I had never attended events like this. But I wasn't interested in their discussions and had no intention of drawing attention to myself. I simply smiled and ignored them.

I glanced around and looked for Trinity. It seemed she hadn't arrived.

I asked Ivanna, "Will Jared be here today?"

Ivanna shook her head. "He usually avoids things like this unless it's necessary or if there's someone special he must meet."

I nodded, realizing that Jared had always been low-key and wouldn't attend events like this unless there was a compelling reason. Today's gathering had been organized by several renowned companies, but it wasn't significant enough to draw his attention.

Key individuals in the business and entertainment circles were present, and I exchanged greetings with some familiar faces.

I spotted Liora unexpectedly. What surprised me more was that she was accompanied by someone familiar—Vicky, the woman I met yesterday.

I found that puzzling. How was Vicky connected with Liora? They did seem like they were birds of a feather.

Ivanna noticed my gaze fixed on a particular spot and asked me in a low voice, "Do you know any of those people around Liora?"

I looked over at Liora. Apart from Vicky, who I met yesterday, I didn’t know any of the others.
